Book 1 Project

My idea for my project one is a fan experience related to Miss Peregrine's House for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, where you can relive the story.  In the fan experience you are able to "travel" back to September third 1940, where Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children lived.  You would be able to interact with the peculiar children, and you'll be in awe when you see all of their talents.  Well, you will be able to see most of them; you will not be able to see Millard Nullings' special talent because he is invisible.  You might get burned by Emma Bloom's talent because she can hold fire in her hand, and she's feisty and unpredictable.  In the fan experience you will meet Miss Peregrine herself, the one who allowed you to come in to the experience.  The fan experience will be on the island the book's setting is on in Wales.  This will be a week only experience, and the author himself Ransom Riggs will be there signing copies of the book for fans. 
During the fan experience the eager visitors, (hopefully they are eager) will have the opportunity to stay in the peculiar's house itself, or in the town on the island.  If you choose to stay in the town it is free, but it is also on the other side of the island so you'll have to hike across the island every day to get to the house.  To have the opportunity to stay in the house for the week you would have to make it to the house before all the rooms fill up, making it so that the other visitors would have to hike back across the island and find somewhere to stay in one of the houses in the town.  Ransom Riggs would make sure everyone has a place to stay for the week.  On the island the visitors will be unable to use electronics because the story and fan experience are set in 1943.  The house will painted exactly how it is shown in the book trailer and described in the book.  Every morning the fans would wake up and either hike to the house for breakfast, or simply go downstairs for breakfast. Every meal would be served as if it was a feast to the guests.  A ton of food would be served as if the food was endless and unlimited, it seemed like it was like that in the book.  The meal would be served by the children themselves, only eating when everyone else had been served.  After the first meal of the day the children would take the visitors and tour them around the island, show off their talents, or every once in a while when they're bored, they would play "raid the village" Most of the children believed that the game was fun, but some of the better children thought that even though the days reset at the end of every single day, it was a bad game and should be frowned upon.  The kids would reign terror on the townspeople, but the townspeople would not remember it because they do the exact same thing every day; forgetting and everything that comes with it.  Like I had just said the days reset at the end of every day so even though the story and experience is based in World War two; so at the end of every day a bomb drops in the same spot at the same time.  This repeats so every single day is September third 1940 all the time.  No matter what the day would always be September third and the day would be the exact same.                                                  
I think having this fan experience will lead to more book sales.  I think this because the people who were not able to go to the island would want to learn about it and learn the story that Ransom Riggs has written.  Also, even the people who did have the amazing chance to visit the house will most likely buy a copy of the book for the author to sign on the island.  Finally, the fans will be able to keep in touch with Riggs, Miss Peregrine, and the children through letters. 

Such as this one for the Hunger Games, yet the fan experience for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children would be on the island from the book.
